Best Cafes in Nimman, Chiang Mai

In search of the best cafe in the Nimman neighborhood of Chiang Mai, Thailand? Have no fear, we’ve tried some of the best cafes in the area (and there are A LOT!) and put this list together for you. While there are always new cafes opening up in Nimman, some have been been around for a while and are great to work in or enjoy some social time with friends. The coffee in Chiang Mai is absolutely amazing and some of the cafes below serve up organic, locally grown coffee that your taste buds will do flips for!

This post has been in the making for a long time now. It’s not a complete list of all of the cafes in the Nimman area, not even a scratch at the surface. There are so many little cafes in this area and more and more are popping up daily. I’m guessing I might be adding to this in the next few months that we are still here so come back and check it out again later.

I hope the pictures are a good representation for the feel of the place for anyone trying to pick a place for themselves. I just wanted to give the essential basic details, but if you want to know more please drop us a comment.

About the Author

Hi! I'm just a California girl addicted to travel and adventure with a passion for art and dance on the side. Born in Iran, but I consider myself a citizen of Earth, adhering to the belief that "The world is but one country and mankind its citizen." I strive to make a positive impact on everyone I meet and learn as much as possible from them.
My degree out of college is in Marketing. However, I entered the hospitality business at an early age and worked my way up to hotel management. After about 13 years in that industry (5 of which I was a hotel assistant manager), I made the decision to move to Thailand and leave the 9 to 5 grind behind.
My husband and I set off for a life of living abroad and hopes to continue traveling the world, just 3 months after our wedding. It all started with the two of us, along with our cat, together in Thailand. Can't wait to see where life takes us next!
